See pics. 5 or 6 times now i've pulled into my garage and my car shot out this little puddle of water about a foot from the wheel. Always in the exact same place. Looked around under the wheel well and saw nothing. And about a minute later (still just sitting in the garage), she made a sound that sounded like a gate creaking for about 15 seconds. Between that and the freeway moaning sounds, i'm thinking she's possessed. Any idea what this is???

Is it an oil based substance? The only thing I could think of would be a a power steering leak streaming out from underneath. That or condensation dripping from the side view mirror when you open the door. Very odd to say the least.

is there a stream coming from the car? do you see it happen? if it's water, it's the AC

I have never seen it happen, there was a trail of drops for about a foot before the puddle, so it looks like it's happening as I'm driving in and coming to a stop.. I've just noticed the water in exactly the same place on numerous occasions. I haven't used my a/c over the last few days because its been in the low 70's here. I looked underneath and under the fender well and saw no signs. So weird. This car cracks me up.

Lol, i wasn't the first couple times, but now i'm sure. She needs to wear a depends....

Weird. You'd think that if something was spraying out from underneath, the puddle would be more linear-looking. Like a splattered line. Only thing that would seem logical is, like someone else said earlier, condensation from the mirror But even that doesn't seem right.

Or wow... Yeah your NOS is leaking man.

I know, it's so weird! I've never loved and hated a car as much as this one... It does the weirdest crap i've ever seen. I checked the mirror too, no signs of anything. Maybe an exorcism is in order, cuz I'm tired of working on her right now. I need a month or so off....
